On Sunday (3 January 2016) at 9:15 AM, we will explore “After The New Jim Crow:  What’s Next?”

By request of the group (having finished our reading and study of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color-Blindness by Michelle Alexander) we will have a group discussion of where we go from here and what we can do as a congregation to call attention to the issue of mass incarceration and help to dismantle the racialized caste system that has resulted from its practice.

We will also look at future options for adult religious education.
